Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
315 AM CST Sun Jan 28 2018

A compact system was passing through northern Iowa overnight producing
clouds and some light snow. Accumulations of around an inch had
occurred in northwest Iowa with light amounts to the east. The snow
was accompanied by a cold front which had pushed into the northwest
third of the state early this morning. Much colder air was on the
backside of the front with temperatures falling into the teens.
Meanwhile, readings held in the mid to upper 20s elsewhere with south
to southwest winds.  

The cold front in northern Iowa will sweep southeast through much of
the region today. This will allow much colder air to overspread the
Midwest by this afternoon as Canadian high pressure builds into the
northern Plains. Meanwhile, a weak system will push from the Plains
into the lower Missouri River valley by this evening. Light snow and
flurries are expected near the track of this system including far
southwest Iowa. However, any snow amounts will be very light with this
system as moisture is expected to remain limited. The cold air will
remain for the beginning of the work week on Monday with warming
temperatures into Tuesday ahead of the next system.
